This was a first approach patch, if people like the thing configurable,
I can try to do that the weekend.

Notice: that will be my first trip to /proc land....

The rest of the people think that that value would need to be tunable
(I am not strong about that, but I think that I would not need to be
tunable, perhaps 100 is not the correct value, but I think that one
value that didn't put a lot of latency would be enough).

Later, Juan.
